Oldest Living World War II Veteran Richard Overton to Turn 109

The oldest living World War II veteran will turn 109 years old Monday, but he already has a head start with celebrations.

Richard Overton's friends and family threw him a birthday bash Sunday in Austin, Texas, with as many as 100 people in attendance, including Mayor Steve Adler and the assistant chief of the Austin Police Department, ABC's Austin affiliate station KVUE-TV reported.

"I feel happy that I’ve made it," Overton told ABC News. "I know I can’t make another 109, so I’m satisfied with this one."
